Scene 3:
At Rise: JIRI is back on the stage with the curtains closed. A classroom scene is set up behind her. 778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cYCSAA6sK
JIRI
Jiri’s monologue part 2. The next day, the weather people predicted a light storm. In the morning it looked really nice, so we all thought they were lying. How could it rain on such a nice day? Well, I guess the weather is like me. It goes to extremes. So, about halfway through the say it started storming. STORMING! 778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvjI6aBP3j
Schools did that thing where they call school off early, um… an early dismissal. I couldn’t walk home in the storm, so I had one of my friend’s parents drive me home. People’s parents always felt bad for me. Not really because of my parents, but more because I was me. SOME PEOPLE JUST DON’T LIKE WHEN I GET ALL ANGRY ALL OF THE SUDDEN! 778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMNSP4qCgc
When I got home, AJ wasn’t there yet. I was a little worried, but not too worried. It took him a long time to get home. I guess he was stuck at his school because of some weird events that occurred. He tried to tell me about them, but my short attention span got the best of me.
(She sits down on the edge of the stage.)778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELTh8bxEe8
As curtains rise, AJWAKU and RAINE are in the main part of the classroom. We see into the classroom closet, where KABESE and SUNAKU are stuck. 778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9ZNGrmhKQ
RAINE
So, what happened?778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡya4qZfYGpS
AJWAKU
(He breathes heavy.)
Um… these guys… the storm… it’s really dark… I can’t see anything…778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSZYsWJZpB
RAINE
Same. 778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU5gV7UAE0
KABESE
(She bangs on the closet door.)
Ugh! Garret and his gang trapped us in here. The announcement went off saying we could all go home, but now we are freaking locked in a classroom and I’m stuck in here with this one!778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEAzhsg1HX
SUNAKU
(He leans over to her.)
I am the one; the one for you. 778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeJIm92B9h
KABESE
Take one step closer and I will personally murder you!778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM8ED17OOj
RAINE
What do we do Ajwaku? The door’s locked and so is the closet.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ2gScn7Cn
AJWAKU
I dunno. Why would those upperclassmen even push us in here?778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiHUJ0zxJN
KABESE
They hate me. Long story. It’s just Garret being Garret. 778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmP1NjWBdy
SUNAKU
(He giggles.)
Heyyy… If I’m in here with Kabese… Go for it AJ!!! Yeah, man it’s your chance to make your move on Raine!778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2r0cr9Lyu

RAINE
(She suddenly sits down forcefully.)778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2EeP3RUIm
AJWAKU
Raine?778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC97devUS2y
RAINE
(Her eyes are opened wide. She mumbles gibberish.)778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1VAhDuCHL
AJWAKU
Raine? Are you okay? Where are you?
(He tries to get closer to her.)778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BjvtFrHuk
REISHI
(She enters with a glow around her. No one, but RAINE can hear her when she talks.)
Hello. 778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu9LJhdQ7J
RAINE
Uh, hi. 778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGK9UZdfQD

RAINE
Yes, that’s right.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHs5mwYgNF

Well, I caused this storm you see. 778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDueJw2ZS6Y

REISHI
This isn’t the first time you’ve seen my Raine. 778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi1nAvDs8p
RAINE
It’s not? I don’t recognize you. 778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iUvTduAjC
REISHI
Oh,
(She looks around and smirks.)
I’ll catch up with you next time, Raine, the girl who can see.
(She exits.)778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv17gXJmzx2
RAINE
Bye, nice meeting you.
(She snaps out of it.)778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvzYcnqLOX
AJWAKU
Raine… who were you talking to?778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhqIoCp6QS
RAINE
Huh? I wasn’t talking to anyone… wait… did that just happen?!
(A knocking comes at the door to the classroom.)778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEDBLIrvtJ
MR. AARON
Hello? Is somebody in there? The school has already been evacuated because of the storm. 778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgaHy7TIhV
AJWAKU
Yes!
(He tries to get to the door. He hits a few desks on the way. He bangs on the door.)
We’re here! The door knob broke. We can’t get out. Help!778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfh78Pipir
KABESE
Seriously help me! He’s getting closer to me.
(She backs up and hits her head on coat hangers.)
Hey…
(She smirks.)778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKztyKUdpxz
SUNAKU
What?778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbPETBLvrj
KABESE
(She bends down and lines the hangers up in a formation.)
Just try to get over here now.
MR. AARON
Oh no. I can try to help you. 778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaV1yNeCxI
RAINE
Who are you? 778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSJhgfezWi
MR. AARON
I’m Mr. Aaron, the shop teacher, you should have had me freshman year… 778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWOhHR8Bwi
RAINE
That explains it. I didn’t take shop. Me and saws don’t mix very well. I’m blind so… they don’t let me near sharp objects. 778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymqmkxEuW2
AJWAKU
Wait, if you’re the shop teacher, can you cut down the door?778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXDMdau0oc
RAINE
Good thinking Ajwaku. 778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtw02Hvazsc
AJWAKU
Oh… uh… it was nothing… 778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmON4NFmMi
MR. AARON
I’ll go get my tools and be right back in a jiffy.
(He exits.)778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIiXeBOqSp
KABESE
He left! God, just get me out of here!778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFomLTn4ie
SUNAKU
(He reaches his hands out and tries to get to Kabese again. He trips and falls over the wall of coat hangers.)
Hey! What was that?!778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBnJP1DIdQ
KABESE
(She cackles.)
I call it the Great Wall of Coat Hangers.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAh3Gynw4D
RAINE
Hey, Ajwaku?778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1yeF1d7wG
AJWAKU
Yeah…?778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q2wySoVSA
RAINE
Don’t they sound kinda cute in there, like a couple?778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8THWnCEDE
KABESE
Stop. 778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODWTmK6znW
AJWAKU
(He laughs.)
Yeah… I ship it. 778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJltIO41aV
RAINE
Yeah! Kabaku, no Sunese! 778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10hxP7PmI4
AJWAKU
Definitely Sunese. 778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfXQ6PPszk
KABESE
Stop! NO! It’s neither of those!
(She hits the walls.)
I ship Sunaku and the Great Wall of Coat Hangers!778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53LirIXqKy
SUNAKU
(He snaps his fingers at the coat hangers, and then pets it.)
Ay! Has anyone told you, that you’re really smooth? 778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISja9z2qX0
KABESE
(She reaches out and kicks him.)
Oh my gosh! Stop it!!! I’m gonna cry!778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cmSH4eDSF
SUNAKU
Hey! Whoa… you can cry?778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt3wuAcG6y
KABESE
Pssh, no. I don’t cry. 778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvjDMDxy6x
RAINE
Sure… 778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0ojJYfWVu
MR. AARON
I’m back kids! I’ll have this door down real quick.778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6pxBnAZ5z
AJWAKU
Great!778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0SyDsQiJ2
KABESE
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRZGsjWaKK
MR. AARON
Sure, right away, Mrs. Sunaku. 778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNdKtwCIYv
KABESE
(She gasps.)
Mr. Aaron! To think you were one of my favorite teachers last year! Besides, he wishes… 778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT04Nsy2zK
SUNAKU
She wishes…
(The chainsaw starts. The curtains close.)778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCWmBQhPHL
JIRI
So, once they got out of that classroom, my brother was able to walk home in the pouring rain. He was too young to drive, and we didn’t have parents around a lot to drive us. Walking or biking was pretty much our only method of transportation. 778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrpPO6QTO4
You know, I would have shipped Kabese and Sunaku too, IF I WASN’T FRIENDS WITH HER LITTLE BROTHER! HIS NAME IS KONO, AND HE IS IN MY CLASS! Basically, my friends are just the kids in my class that year. I’m kinda outlandish, so people just have to accept me. I’M LOUD and ANNOYING, but sometimes I’m quiet and sweet. It just depends what state I’m at during a given time. 778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqPlwPqxFv
The next day was friday, and I was going to have a play date with some of my friends from school. BUT STUPID AJ BROUGHT RAINE TO “HELP” BUT ONE, I DON’T NEED HELP. AND TWO, HOW CAN I BLIND HELP WATCH KIDS?! PRETTY SURE YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO SEE IN ORDER TO WATCH! Anyway, DON’T CALL MY BROTHER STUPID!
(She stomps off the stage.)778Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAIbDv3w8Q
